First, there's Sunland Tire Co., 461 E. Foothill Blvd., then Martinez Towing at 331 E. Foothill Blvd., where snacks will be served and original company vehicles dating from 1925 will be displayed, along with "Cars Land" decor and memorabilia inspired by the animated Disney movie classic "Cars."

Did I mention that the reservation deadline is Wednesday? Call Bob Lundy, director of Visit San Bernardino County, at 909-383-1256, or email to dr.sbcounty@verizon.net.

In my opinion, the Route 66 Saturday Nite Cruise is a perfect followup event to the Route 66 Rendezvous that takes place in late summer in downtown San Bernardino,

In fact, as wonderful as the Rendezvous is, there's one little quibble that could be raised about it. It's only a technicality, of course, but the fact is that not a single little bit of the Rendezvous actually takes place on Route 66.

That event happens in downtown San Bernardino, which is awesome, because Berdoo is one of the Mother Road's landmark cities. Still, the Mother Road doesn't actually go through downtown San Bernardino. No, that all happens over on Mount Vernon Avenue, on the city's West Side.

That's right. Old Route 66 pours south out of the Cajon Pass on what is now Interstate 15, then veers off the freeway route onto Cajon Boulevard, which jogs into Mount Vernon Avenue, then makes a westbound turn on Fifth Street where it leaves town and becomes Foothill Boulevard as it heads for Los Angeles.

The moonlight cruise on Nov. 17, from Rancho Cucamonga to La Verne, is proud to say it takes place entirely on and around Route 66.
